Application filed July 15 To all whom it My concern;

. Be it known that I, GUY L. WoonaAnnpa citizen ofthe- United States,residing at San Die 0, in the=county of San Diegoand State ofalifornia,hav,e inventeda certain new and useful Paper and PlasterFoundation Supporting Device, of which the. following isaspecification.7 4

My invention relates toa device for supporting Weather paper and plasterfoundations,more particularly for spacing-and sup porting metallicnetting from the walls,

sheathing or studding, for exterior plaster foundation and the objectsof my invention are: first, to provide a device of this class whichwill. support paper in position von sheathing and'at the same timeprovide efficient means for securing hogwire, chicken wire, or otherwire'netting or plaster 'foun dation without the addition of otherparts; second, to provide a device of this class which will space theplaster foundation from the wall as well as support the same of thisclass, and sixth, to provide a device thereon; third, to provide adevice "of this 25 class which can be sufficiently twisted in variouspositions after being secured to the wall to facilitate the supportingof the plaster foundation;-fourth, to provide novel means forsupportingplast e'r foundation fifth, to provide a novelly constructeddevice of this class which isvery. simple and eco nomical ofconstruction, durable, easy to install, efficient, and which will notreadily deteriorate or get out of'order. I

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter myinvention consists of certain novel feafaires offconstructioncombination, and arrangement of parts and portions as will behereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in theappended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and tothe characters of reference thereon which form a part of thisapplication, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my device showing the samesecuring building paper to sheathing and showing a. partof the deviceturned over to secure the plaster foundation in spaced relation from.the sheathingand showing'said sheathing andpaper in section; Fig. 2 is afront elevational view thereof showing the paper and sheathingfragmentarily; Fig.3 is a fragmentary elevational view of a. wallstructure showing the building paper secured to the sheath- ,'192'2.Serial No. 575,399.

ing with my devices, and showing the plaster foundation variouslysupported thereby; Fig. 4 is a fragmentary side elevational view of aslightly modified form of my device,

and Fig. 5 is'a front elevational view thereof.

Likecharacters of reference refer to similar parts and portionsthroughout the several. views of the drawings.

The clip Land the-nail 2 constitute the principal parts and portions ofmy device for supporting weather paper and plaster foundation in thepreferred form.

le 1 preferably slightly shorter than the ot er orouter leg 1?. Theshorter leg or leg 1 nearest the wall is adapted to secure The clip 1 ismade 'U-shapedwith the one the building paper in position to thesheathing or other wall structure while the leg 1 spaced fromthe formeris adapted to secure and space the plaster foundation from said wallstructure. The clip is provided with oppositely disposed holes 1 in eachofsaid leg portions and near the connectingand spacing portion 1.adaptedto receive therethrough a nail 2 for securing the clip to the sheathingor other wall structure. The outer or longer leg portion 1 is furtherprovided with a narrow slot 1 extending in- Wardly from its end andterminating in a hole 1 at its inner end adapted to receive throughsaidslot a portionof. the plaster foundation wire by forcing the wiretherethrough or slightlyspringing the portion on either side of saidslot. When the wire is. forced through the slot into the hol'el it isretained by the hole in said outer or long leg 1 irrespective of theposition of the clip onthewall. if Another method for securing theplaster foundation to a wall structure with my device is by bendingapart of the outer leg of the clip at its narrow portion over itselfand.

over a portion of said plaster foundation as indicated by dotted lines.in Fig. 1 and also shown by the clip D in ,Fig. 3 of the drawlngs. I

In Figure 3 of the drawings I have shown a number of my devices securedto sheath- "mg and posted in various positions about each of thesupporting nails to facilitate varying securing of the plasterfoundation 7 on the. clip and also by stretching and bending a portionof the plaster foundation slightly.

In Figures land 5 of the drawin s I have shown a slightly modified form0 my device particularly the construction of the clip which is made/fromwire and turned in the form of a coil 8 with its one end forming ashoulder 3* in the form of an outwardly extending flat spiral and theother end extending outwardly'at a right'angle with the axis of the coilin astraight portion 3. in this modified form of construction is securedto the sheathing or other wall structures in the same manner.

Though I have shown and described aparticular construction,combinationand arrangement of parts and portions and certainmodification thereof I do not wish to be limited to this particularconstruction, combination and arrangement nor to the modification butdesire to include in the scope of my invention the construction,combination and arrangement substantially as set forth in the appendedclaims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: 1. A device of the class described, includ-The clip 2. A device of the class described, including a substantiallyU-shaped member, one leg of which is longer than the other and providedwith resilient wire securing means, and means for securing said U-shapedmember to a walL.

3. A device of the class described, including a substantially U-shapedmember, pr0- vided with plaster foundation securing means on one leg andoppositely disposed holes in said legs and a securing means mounted inthe oppositely disposed holes in said U-shaped member adapted to securesaid member to a wall.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at San Diego,California, this 6th day of July, 1922.
